The $1.4 million building initially will be used to garage the company’s fleet of vehicles.

“We envision the building ultimately being used for BDG office, administrative and design purposes but its initial use will create approximately 10 jobs for those tasked with conducting maintenance and other motor-pool support functions for a company fleet of trucks, vans and cars used to maintain our various properties,” spokesman Gary Lewi said via email.

Blumenfeld Development, which built the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park and Manhattan’s East River Plaza, has applied for a waiver of sales tax and is seeking a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement for the parking structure project with the IDA.

The IDA has scheduled a public hearing on the firm’s application for 11 a.m. on April 3 at Oyster Bay Town Hall.

Are you kidding? It’s bad enough hugely profitable companies like GE and Hain’s are trying to get these types of subsides..But a builder? Please…You’re NOT going to move to Jersey and you’re probably going to build the damn thing anyway (you are, after all, a “builder” aren’t you?), so cut the **** and pay for the damn thing yourself. Ridiculous!

Just another case of a greedy builder trying to stuff their own pockets by denying the tax payers of Nassau County the revenue we deserve. I agree with polara that the building is going to be built anyway if it is needed. The argument that it will create 10 jobs is very weak and shameful.
